fled the air I Is said President Ze
laya has promised to make public today
the announcement of his resignation
For the first time In 16 years a street
meeting of malcontents has been per
mitted without police Interference The
demonstration began last night and
continued for hours
Early today comparative quiet had
been restored but the scene of the
events of the past few hours admitted
of but one interpretation The ant
Zelaya feeling was so strong that the
government did not dare to attempt
Its suppression
The climax was reached last night
when the government attempted to put
through congress a bill conceding to
certain exploiters mining rights cover
ing vat undefined areas irrespective of
the present ownership of the surface of
the property
Congressman Enrique Corda opposed
tho measure hi a speech that aroused
the wildest enthusiasm The
wll1cst govern
ment seeing that the motion was in
danger of being lost precipitately adJourned
journed the session
I wan too late however to head off
tho burst of indignation that had swept
over the legislative body supposed to
have been friendly to Zolaya When
Corda left the building he was given
an ovation
oaton
From the meeting place the congress
man who dared publicly to voice the
protest against the government was
followed to his hotel by n mob which
alternately cheered Corda and cried
Long live liberty Down with oppres
sion
sionNews
News of what had transpired In Con
gress spread rapidly and the crowd of
munlfcstanls grew to the strength ot
un army The rioters gathered 11
front of the Mexican legation and call
ed upon the Mexican minister to Nic
aragua for a speech The diplomat
asked to he excused
Ramon Rastron attempted n conciliatory
atory speech and was hooted for his
pains Occasionally there was n cry
nt Give us Madrid In a fiery speeeh
Delegate Castlllon predicted a new
approval era of liberty and his auditors shouted
ATTACK ON ZELAYA
Responding to Insistent calls Corda
made a speech which was n bitter
attack on Zelaya The speaker said he
had Intended to Interpellate the gov
ernment on the subject of Its prepara
tions for war In the face of Its pro
testations of peaceful intention but
he had desisted on the assuraie that
Zelaya would resign In the morning
The pohce made no show of inter
ference during all the disorder
Later Dr Mndriz arrived and his ad
vent was tho signal for a demonstra
ton that made the earlier outbreak ap
prnr temperate In comparison
Time crowd had become emboldened
because of the police attitude and vio
anl
lent denunciations of the present regime
were voiced In the confusion of shout
one could make out Vive Mexico
Long live the United States rho
handwriting Is on the wall
Corda was released but recently from
the penitentiary recenl
Following demonstrations at Cordas
hotel the crowd moved to the home
of Henry Call era the United States
vice consul Here they cried Long live
Estrada Long live the revolution
Long hive the United States
Still the police did not Interfere nnd
the tramping and shouting went on
until the manlfcstants had tired them

Towns 200 Miles
ROUTE OF PROJECTED LINE
Colorado Promoter Not Discouraged
In Ills Attempts to Secure
Needed Capital
I
I
With the Moifnlt road frequently be I
fore the public attention there Is neces
sarily speculation a to its future own
ership and tho advantages of that
route over parallel lines In the mat
ters of time physical resource and
other things I has been pointed out
that the route when built will be 1ST
miles shorter than the Denver Rio
Grande between Salt Lake and Denver
and 86 miles shorter than the Union
Pacific Tho Moffatt road uses three
and onethird miles of the Lyons branch
of the Burlington between Denver ant
Utah Junction whence It branches oft
to tho west north of Central City and
Golden and entering the canyon at
Rolllnsvllle southwest Boulder The
line crosses the range directly west to
Vasquez whence 1 goes north on tho
east side of Elk mountain and than
west to Hot Sulphur Springs and on
to Kromllng where It enters the Gore
canyon Competitive Interests did
everything possible and seemingly Im
possible to shut the Moffatt line out
of Gore canyon the government being
Involved In the attempt to have the
canyon declared a natural reservoir and
a dam built therein The scheme failed
so the road was built through to McCoy
on the other side of the range and
thence north to Steamboat Springs
whero it terminates for tho present 2H
miles from Denver
SIX MILE TUNNEL
Were It not for tho tremendous climb
over the main Rocky mountain range
west of Denverlt would be compara
tively easy sailing But the 39 mlles
between Rolllnsvllle and Vasquez In
volves an ascension from 8357 feet al
titude to 11660 feet a climb of 3200
feet In 21 miles For n large share of
the year travel here Is attended with
special dangers In tho way of snow
blockades In addition to the tortuous
climb so a six mile tunnel Is proposed
between Antelope and Arrow stations
cutting out 23 miles nnd reducing the
altitude by 2455 rot at tho cast portal
and 2075 feet at tho west portal prt11
pprti1
cost will be several millions but tho
escape from the snows elimination tin
the climb saving of distance and short
enlng of thotlme will amply pay for
the expenditure When this is done
Mr Moffatt hopes tQ be able to dictate
to the other lines In general and tho
Denver Rio Grande Is particular
MINERALIZED DISTRICT
West of Steamboat Springs the route
makes almost a straight line through
Routt county containing Immense coal
fields both bituminous and anthracite
there arc also valuable brick and pipe
clays glass sand glass brick material
mineral springs onyx uranium and
vanadium cres agricultural and pas
toral lands forest lands underlaid with
coal hydrocarbon fields and metal
liferous ore tract along tho road
PROPOSED ROUTE
The projected line enters Utah Io h
ot the Tampa plateau crosses Ashley
creel at Jensen parsing through the
Fort Duchesne military reservation
through Duchesne village skirting the
eastern side of the Strawberry range
to Daniels pass and thence to Helter
and parallels the Rio Grande through
Provo canyon to Olmstead at the month
of the canyon where the line turns
north to American Fork without going
to Provo There Is an alternate route
from a point east of Duchcanc south
west to Park City and to Salt Lake
parallel also with the Rio Grande from
the Park
Mr Moffatt has Invested most of Ills
millions In this road so that he Is un
able to build further on his own mo
tlon Repeated attempts to borrow In
the New York markets have been
thwarted by the opposing railway In
terests but still he does not despair
He knows and tho opposition interests
know that 11 money is raised to boro
that tunnel Moffatt will be In I posi
tion to dictate to his business enemies
So ho keeps everlastingly at It vlth
leona le hopes of finally securing the
needed funds I ore bodies arc found
in tunneling they may pay the entire
expenditure of excavation and on ths
considerable hope Is based I Is ap
parent to every railroad man that with
the tunnel built and the DenverSalt
Lake route reduced to 533 miles the
competing lines north nnd south must
como to terms with the Denver pro
moter The Moffatt road Is already
hauling large quantities of coal Into
Denver
SUCCESS IN FINANCING
From Denver the word comes that
Mr Moffat has finally been successful
In financing lila scheme for the six
miles tunnel under James Peak I will
be built at a cost of 5000000 or 533000
per mile by n syndicate Including Mr
Moffat William G Evans C B
Kountze F G Bonfils Dennis Sheedy
Lawrence Phlppa Charles Boettcher
and other prominent Denver capitalists
The bonds bearing 5 per cent Interest
with the 50000 aliases of stock have all
been subscribed fortho par values being
0 The fact that Denver men arc
to construct this tunnel would suggest
that Influence of the competing roads
In the New York markets has cut oft all
assistance from that quarter
This Is about ns good a bit of rail
road new as has reached this city for
a long time for It will be seen that i
the building of that tunnel means a
speedy fulfilment of long cherished
hopes of a direct short line between
the Utah and Colorado capitals Tho
length of tm required to cut through
lengh
the mountain depends very largely on
methods of operation R M Nelson
an experienced civil engineer and tun
It will alto all of three
nel expert says wi al thee
through that mountain
years to cut mountan
he In entirely different
The formation says II entrlydlt
ferent from that of the Gunninon moun
tain where tho government engineers
encountered hot water and quicksand
In uch formidable quantities In the
latter locality the formation L sedi
mentary but In the James Peak mountain I
Oslo range the formation Is porphyry
and hard rock P that th work Is
straight rock cutting Mr Nelson Bays
tho number of shafts to b sunk In the
great deal on
tunnel line depends n Keat
the abruptness of the elevation In this
case not more than two shafts may
be found practicable though perhaps
three may be sunk It 1 of course pos
J
h
sible to work two gangs ot men with
gngs
machines from the bottom of each shaft
working In opposite directions but he
doubts very much If this will bo found
feasible Shaft digging Is often
Shnf dlrrblng very
expensive and If not economically lo
cate costs more than It is worth Mr
Nelson does not think any great ob
stacle will b encountered in the work
though 1 would hardly b safe to ac
cept that as an assured fact prior to
entrance to the mountain
At all events the fact that the tun
nel scheme has been financed and will
bo put through Is enough to give an
addaIon1 Impetus to hopes and antici
ImphJs hOJs ano antci
pations of great benefit to Salt Lake
and the state at large on well as to
Colorado though when the road Is
built what the Harriman and Gould
interests may do in the premises is t
fruitful source of speculation Some
local railroad engineers believe the Roc
Island is secretly backing Mr Moffat
and his confreres and will in three
years bo running through trains from
New York to Salt Luke Our the L
